When shopping for clothes, my mom and I always disagree on what fits me well. To me, if it zips, it fits. However, my mom usually says I need a bigger _______ .

When I was in middle school, I wanted to dress _______ my friends, but my body size made it impossible. Every time when my mom told me _______ didn’t fit me or I needed a bigger one, all I heard was that I was too _______. That’s why we stopped shopping together.

This went on until I was going to get married and needed to find a wedding _______. Of course, I could buy it _______ . However, my mom is my favourite person to go out with, so the idea of looking for a wedding dress without her seemed quite _______ to me.

Then the day came. As I _______ a white dress, I saw tears in my mom’s eyes, “You look very _______ in it, my dear” she told me. Nothing could surprise me more than this.

In fact, this dress didn’t zip up at the back and I did need a bigger one, ________ my mother didn’t say that. She just told me she couldn’t ________ how beautiful I looked. At that moment, all those ________ experiences we had in the past were gone. We didn’t buy a dress that day. We decided to see more. This was what I would ________   think about before.
